Take the first exit off the Portlaoise roundabout from Portlaoise, keep straight and you canât miss it. Itâs not that difficult. You can park in the hurling club.
Iâll park up in the 7 Oaks mate if thats ok, Iâll take in the unstoppable juggernaut defeating Ulster and then head across the way to watch another one. Which one itâll be worries me however.
Enjoy your weekend pal.
Westmeath have beaten Antrim with 14 men by 2 points. Great work going on in Westmeath tbf.
13 points from Willie Hyland gives Laois 0-20 to 0-13 win over the rastafarians 
Great result for Westmeath. Letâs hope they finish the job against Galway this time.
Apparently Westmeath had two 17 year olds playing today. :o
As they have had for most of the year. The full forward is very decent. Theyâve been doing some great work up there in recent years.
Sure but 17 year olds playing senior inter-county hurling? Youâll wreck the poor fuckers.
Really? Wouldnt have thought so myself tbh. Plenty have in past and will again.
Westmeath are managed by Brian Hanley from Athenry who was a selector with Anthony Cunningham for the Galway u-21s the last coulpe of years. Heâd know all about the Galway players and setup. Should put it up to Galway again this year
More cruciate woe for Dublin hurlers

Dublinâs Martin Quilty
Martin Quilty has become the latest member of Anthony Dalyâs Dublin hurling squad to be struck down by the cruciate ligament curse.
The up-and-coming midfielder, who was a member of the Dublin team which lost last yearâs All-Ireland U21 final to Galway and started against the Tribesmen in last monthâs Allianz League Division 1A relegation playoff replay in Portlaoise, will miss the rest of the season after an MRI scan confirmed he has torn his Anterior Cruciate Ligament.
The Na Fianna clubman was believed to be pushing hard for a starting place against Laois in the Leinster SHC quarter-final on June 2 after impressing in recent challenge matches.
Ironically, Quilty suffered the injury in last weekâs challenge game against Waterford which marked the return of Tomas Brady, Stephen Hiney and Conal Keaney to the Dublin colours from cruciate ligament injuries.
Any truth in Tippâs intermediates beating Offaly seniors in a practice match recentlyâŚ
Sur the Clare B team beat Offaly in a match which Offaly had to win and was of no relevance to Clare.
To be fair I donât think Baker has introduced sliotars to training yet and probably wonât do so til mid-Julyat the earliest.
What odds on Wexford to beat Offaly?
2/1 now with PP. Were they longer last week? Itâs hard to know if Offaly are actually this bad but looking at the teams theyâre putting out it seems they might be. I remember in Mike Macâs second season there was the same sense of disbelief that the team could be as poor as they were looking in the run-up to championship. It only took fifteen minutes against Tipp put that disbelief to an end. Offaly arenât facing a team as good as the '09 Tipp though, so who knows.
Anyone watch the video of the boys on Henry Street getting great use out of their hurls yesterday evening? Dublin hurling has really taken off - hard to see them not winning it.
I was just about to post that. Yer man gets some clatter to the head when the hurl(ey) breaks
Rumour has it that John Mulhall has been dropped off the Kilkenny panel
Heard this a couple of days ago.
Itâs been coming, the Mulhall experiment had run its course.
